![Nexus 6P Review! [2016]](/img/n.gif)
Nexus 6p is still the android king.
+Taraz T I agree 100%
Right now, consumers are just winning! Great phones everywhere, there's a phone for every budget and taste!
So true!
You don't even have a clue how xiaomi has changed indian market!
I got the 6P on December 26 after my Nexus 5 inexplicably failed on Christmas day. I have nothing negative to say about it. For me, the size is perfect, the audio is perfect, the camera is perfect, it's fast, has more than acceptable battery life, etc. I primarily use it as a phone and texting device, and for testing web sites I'm developing. I watch the occasional TH-cam or Netflix video on it, but I have other devices for those things so not a major concern.
I also love the 4K video, and the camera is incredible for something quick at hand, even though I use a decent SLR regularly.
love my N6P...And your review was that good that I subscribed right away!! Thank you for the good job!
Really balanced and thorough review. I really like your video presence -- very professional. I'll subscribe. Look forward to many more.
prima! been looking for a channel bout android phones here in germany which is in english. glad that i found yours.
great review! keep it up!
👍👨👍
Awesome review man, enjoyed every minute of it! You got a new subscriber.
Great review - many thanks - peace from London. Micky x
Nice honest review as always !
Great overview, I appreciate your effort and work. Earned a subscription.
Hi I'm thinking of buying the 6p at the end of the month in gold although not sure on this yet, where do you think the best place to buy in the UK & what is a kernel. I would appreciate your help thanks ?
man awsome vedio. I was confused bitween note 5 and 6P but now all clear tnx again man.
bro, this is the first video I've seen from you, really awesome video
Great review of the device. Thank you.
Your command of the English language is superb.
Top notch review. The rigour is appreciated
Great video! You should close by saying: "I'll be back." ;)
Hehe. My parents are German. I love the accent! Alles Gut.
Pretty good summary, heading to buy
Cheers
I know this is really late but, this is the video that got me to subscribe to your channel. Great review Damir. I bought the 6P after seeing this.
Nexus updates faster than any android phones.
could the battery life issue be because of the Google App? I know it kills my battery too since it was installed/updated
I love your t-shirt!!
Is it worth to buy in europe for 300€(320$) used?
Nexus 6P is a great smartphone.I bought it 3 days ago and I'm really satisfied with it.It has such a great quality,very fast phone.The camera is absolutely fantastic,screen quality is superb.Touch id is so fast,you can unlock the phone without pressing the button power.In my opinion this the best smartphone so far.
+Pajtim Fusha did you come from an iphone
Mate,I've had many of the latest smartphones lately.Last time before I bought the Nexus 6P I had galaxy Note 5.It was a great phone but Nexus 6P is much better.Sure I've had all the iphones,they are great but Nexus 6P it's a step up.
Pajtim Fusha ik the 6p is better lol i just said that because you said touch id instead of google imprint
Yes,is much better
i have this nexus 6p and its amazing! great review by the way.
dude how is ur Nexus because I just bought this phone and I am already issuing some heat and lag and also crash sometime pls help
Mine is OK but gets a little warm sometimes but runs smooth.
Great review! It's very helpful too as I'm trying to decide between the 6P, S7 Edge and HTC 10.
HTC 10 IMO because HTC has a lot to prove and redeem itself, their speakers have to blow away the Huawei's in richness and bass, that Huawei's lack. Also their build and hopefully less HTC sense skin lol. I had the 6p its nice but not impressed overall, the s7&edge are amazing but I'm not going to spend $700-800 for a phone.
great review sir.
great video!
nice review I just have one question. for the build quality I heard the nexus 6p has bending problems. have you encounter any problems with it bending or no????
Ok thank you that's all I needed to know☺
Never seen any of your videos, this is the first one, but... GIMME DAT TSHIRT. In Flames
Super great video! Very detailed and gave many good reasons as to why you liked/"disliked" this phone. Mine is actually shipping to me today but just wanted to get more insight on the phone. Hoping that i am satisfied if not more than satisfied with it. Btw, gave you a thumbs up!
Would this be better then the huawei p9? I have the p9 and i feel its rather small for my hands, and the p9 plus costs about as much as the s7 here which is very overpriced..so im stuck with either the one plus 3 or the nexus 6p...thanks!
how about under direct sunlight? would the 6p beat the p9? and day to day performance after a few months, which one felt smoother to you sir? and the battery life too.
thank you.
love my 6p! clean android + instant updates is the overriding factor here for me. plus the price is excellent!
HI. Since 6p doesn't has headphones in the box, what headphones do you suggest to make sure they be compatible? thank you
+Damir Franc Compared to the mate 8 which one has the better jack output? I am not sure i said it well. what i meant maybe is the headset, the one containing headphones with mic and some controls. Thanks again Mr Franc. I am also very pleased with the reviews you're doing btw.. very objective and professional. Really good job.

how do you feel now about the pricing of the 6p? I know when it was released yourself and a lot of Europeans rightfully criticized Google for punishing international customers with high prices. have your thoughts changed now that you can see prices for Samsung and Huawei's latest offerings?
Get to the chopper!!! Great review.
I have that phone. Great review.
Hi Damir,
Thanks for the great review, but I have one question or two.
How is the Audio performance from the headphone jack now when the phone is running on Android O?
And for the best audio output, which custom rom would you recommend?
Thanks again Damir, keep up the good work!
I haven't used this phones since the review and I don't have times for roms anymore so I can't help out here
I REALLY like this phone, but don't quite love it and I'm just not sure why. I also have the Mate 8 (64GB/4GB RAM version) and it's honestly a coin toss which one I'd rather use on a daily basis. I find myself switching back and forth. I really like AMOLED screens, but the huge screen on the Mate 8 (in almost the same form factor) is appealing and the Mate 8 is much easier to see outside. I hate how badly the Nexus 6P performs in daylight.
Great review, as always.
U talked about custom kernel and color calibration. New sub +1
I'm still using mine. I just can't find anything else to really make me want to give it up at any price. The phone today is still as fast and fresh as it was when I got it in Nov 2015. I'm a person that always gets the newest and best phones and upgrades minimum once a year if not sooner. I don't know exactly why, it just never stops impressing me and as a person who uses my phone as a pc replacement and my only work machine it just never disappoints me still.
Should i upgrade to 6P from S6?
Kick ass phone and even more kick ass shirt! IN FLAMES! \m/
No flaw? It throttles like shit with the failure sd 810. I just ordered it but am thinking of returning it back because it will probebly lag when u use it for long due to thermal throttling
Great video man! just clarifying...the front facing camera is 8mpx 1080p @30fps. At the beginning you wrote 5mpx. keep up the good work!
+Damir Franc Yeah, I understand, wish someday TH-cam enables anotations for mobile, because >85% of views come from mobile nowadays. Keep up the great videos man! :)
+Damir Franc Yeah, I understand, wish someday TH-cam enables anotations for mobile, because >85% of views come from mobile nowadays. Keep up the great videos man! :)
+Damir Franc If those analytics are true, that's great for you, more ad revenue :)
+Damir Franc the same story for all multi-million-dollar companies. Screwing the little guy for their own benefit.
I noticed the same, my earnings dropped since last year. Keep up the good work man! Have a nice day.
Just bought this same Graphite 6P yesterday over the LG G5!!
+Kyle Colwell Good choice IMO..
great choice! I've had mine for 3 months and it's been so amazing, as far as battery life if I leave it sitting on my tool box I get great battery life. but if it's in my pocket it okay... (Doze)
+wonderr if your worried about photos Google photos backs up everything to your drive so you don't have to have them stored on your phone I only need 32gig
+wonderr I think 32 is plenty 64 is even better but I honestly don't think you'll need 128 that's just my opinion.
i agree with you but the stock android is an important consideration , you are always updated
there is one thing if i have no after sell service at all in my country, i go for it
Great review. Still, I'm keeping my GS7 edge :)
+TechLineHD
Oh yea.
Why s7 edge what' does it have that the 6p doesn't have besides battery and processor
+Lamine Toure Better Camera, eh Edge Display, more ram ect. It should be better, it's newer
good review, i like your channel so much. nexus 6p and Galaxy s7, which one you'll prefer?
+Harry Cheung Galaxy S7. Why? Because it fits in my pocket ;) 6p is too big to carry in pocket (for me at least)
Alles Super :))
Nexus will still be the best Android device until the next one comes. Becuase of 1 single reason, stock android, like it always should be. The original android experience will always be the best.
+Sebastian Martin agreed, this was the #1 factor in my 6p purchase
Review = Spot on (your English = A+++ (better than mine even...and I'm a Brit :D !!)
Got the 6P and though I absolutely LOVE everything about the phone, I'm still thinking it's a tad too big ( or rather...long) for my 'pocketability'... so looking at the GS7 (non-edge)
I too haven't seen the supposed stellar battery life either...not bad bad, but not 'mega' either!!??
But for me, if the N6P was the same DIMENSIONS as the N5X....it would be my phone of choice. But after having it for a couple of months, I just think these 'bigger' phones are just a tad TOO big....for ME! (Great to use, but bulky in the pocket!)
So, +1 for Sammy's foresight on this.... but -1 for not having the 'Edge' version at 5.1 inch too....
Ho-hum, can't have it all I guess.... (or could we???)
+Damir Franc Hi - thx for the reply. I like the aesthetics of the Edge over the 'standard' S7...but doubt the actual 'practical' usage of it would be any use to me anyway (having never actually used one, unlike you reviewers)....so would be quite happy to use it 'as is' TBH.... My preference was purely on the 'design' of the two, but would be reasonably happy with the standard S7 design anyway... Thx for the review ;)
please say, Get down. love your voice
Would it be easy to install my self I have absolute no experience of doing this thanks ?
***** thanks damir yes I Will do some research I think I will buy the 64 gb gold one the only real thing that concerns me is I love listening to music through my Sony ear buds will the phone Jack be loud enough on the nexus like my music quite loud, herd from people it can be week sounding thanks James ?
***** like the z5 I wonder if changing the Jack for a better one, or maybe the rooting could increase Jack volume ?
***** hi damir you have been a great help mabe you could do a vid on how to root the 6p would be quite helpful. What's the whether like in the us at the moment ?
***** please except my apologies damir & thanks for your good help I look forward to watching more of your vids thanks
***** I meant about getting your location wrong. Anyway thanks for your help damir much appreciated
Supahsmoof! Great vid 😊
+Damir Franc Haha it's a personal touch so I wouldnt try to get rid of it. I used to live near the German border. Where exactly are you from?
You can change the color mode to sRGB in Developer Options. That fixes much of the calibration issues.
+Damir Franc www.anandtech.com/show/9820/the-google-nexus-6p-review/5
The sRGB seems to be very accurate. Maybe being accurate may also mean being boring :)
Aaaas always, great video. One TH-cam thing, if I push "thumb up" on a video and then turn the phone to landscape mode, once I turn the phone back my "thumb " are gone... Have you heard of that Damir?
same here :/
Yes it is. It's awesome in my opinion
The mate 8 though ....... Awesome
+Damir Franc always good advice with Android, my Nvidia tablet was unusable for three months after being updated. Though my Nexus 6 seems ok after the update to M. Even the best phone in the world, the iPhone can slow down on an new update though at least Apple quickly releases updates to debug. The 6p USP is vanilla Android but apart from that it is an average phone, but that is not bad, as Apple shows even with lower spec you can get great performance with no TW bloat.
I have nexus 6p and I love it
I love mine too but the camera sucks in the dark! Definitely not as good as i heard it was :(
use hdr+ with a steady hand, its darn good for a phone
what you mean by organic in hand
+Damir Franc 😂
why is the battery life so avg? I had a 6s+ and the battery life was superb this is my one complaint with the 6p
Oh n i love your accent and expressions :D
does google photos support gifs nativity?
I just found your channel and I love your videos. I'm watching my third video from you already... lol
👍🏻 👍🏻
guys please help should I get a lg g4 or the nexus 6p please let me know it's really stressing
+Damir Franc Oh thanks because the 6p has a better battery life then the g4 right
And size doesn't matrerb
Matter
+Damir Franc Oh sweet because my friends tell me the phone itself dies really fast.
+Damir Franc thanks man I'll get the nexus 6p appreciate the help I'm gonna subscribe you
I think mate 8 turns faster because ur right hand is dominant n ur right forefinger responds quicker than your left?
+Damir Franc oh haha them I got nothing to say
NIce video. But I was able to get 6 hours of SOT on full wifi use and 4 hours of SOT with full data usage
Game at 7:24 & the one before??
in developer options turn on rgb mode and the display colours will be less saturated. Much better imo.
yup, posted that before I got all the way through your video haha. Oh well. Hopefully we get the colour sliders we've seen in the N preview in its final release.
Should I change my 6S Plus for this right now? This is my first iPhone ever, coming from a HTC One M8. Don't get me wrong I'm really happy with it, ubt I'm tempted because I could probably make a profit of around 300$ if I change phones.
i personally dont like iphones theyre too simple. If you get the 6p you wont regret it for sure. I have it and its smooth and flawless for me
+Musti Yzn But now I think I'm in love with the HTC 10 =O
The fingerprint reader on my 6P seems to wake up the screen much quicker than yours, which is weird.
+townsjim That's because you're comparing it to your phone. The reason it seems faster here is because it's being compared directly to a phone that unlocks it faster. He doesn't show his finger so we have no idea when he is pressing it. There are two things to keep in mind when looking at unlock speed. 1) The speed at which the fingerprint reader actually reads your fingerprint, and 2) The animation the phone produces when unlocking. Both Huawei's EIUI, and Samsung's Touchwiz seem to have very little to no unlock animation, making it appear that the fingerprint scanner is quicker. With that aside, the Mate 8 still seems faster. My guess is they put a slightly slower fingerprint reader in the Nexus 6p to not cripple the sales of their Mate 8, or they simply had better tech available by the time the Mate 8 was ready.
+Damir Franc You're right I heard the tap, didn't hear that the first time. with that in mind, it doesn't appear to be software animations either just pure speed/faster recognition on the Mate/8.
I think the nexus devices are always the best because of their software.
Even though I don't like the stock android look and nexus devices look. They mostly look circular and basic :)
I just bought it, havent seen the video yet! I HOPE YOU SAY IT´S THE BEST, I´M OPENING THE BOX RIGHT NOW AND WILL BE PISSED IF YOU SAY IT SUCHS! lol
it's still a awesome phone you can't beat the price honestly
+blackfear1562 I come from the LG G4. I miss the better camera and I miss the tap to lock and wake. Other than that, this phone is wonderful
JustThaor I don't think the g4 had a better camera tbh the only phones that I believe to have a better camera on the ones on Samsung devices currently but eh even if it's (better) they both get the job done
Yes they do get the job done, but I do have to insist. the G4 and V10 camera's are still the best, they compete with the s7 only, and even then, looking at comparisons, I still like the LG one because of the 16 megapixels
mega pixel count is not everything i really don't want to get into a debate over cameras since i think we can both agree that most flagship phones cameras are good enough and that the 6p is wonderful.
very accurate review but I will still buy 6p
Selfie Cam is 8.0MP for your information ;)
selfie camera is 8MP not 5 MP and do check the developer options regarding the Transition speed make sure it is 0
Super Super Super
When is the mate 8 v nexus 6p coming?
+Damir Franc can u give link pls

battery
So which would u keep?
Thanks Nice vids btw.Keep em coming
+Damir Franc do u know if Mate will have android N, I really liv multiwindow
Nexus 6P is the best of Android always... until new Nexus comes up.
It surprises me that a phone with a battery so large doesn't last that long. If I had a phone with a 3450 mAh battery or higher, then I would expect to get at least 6 hours of screen on time especially with stock android.
***** Did you do a factory reset and started from scratch and calibrate the battery?
+Damir Franc poor cell reception seems to have a very big impact on battery life especially on the 6p. I probably have middle of the road life with a mix of green yellow and red cell bars on the battery chart.
odakle si?
Nexus 6p vs moto X style?
***** thanks!
Should I get the 6P, or better just wait for the next one?
***** What would you offer me :D ? I mean the next will get out in probably some months, is it worth because of the "old" hardware?
***** I want a Phone with a great Display not too expensive, great Battery Time and very fast, and yeah, I could wait till the next Nexus comes out but until this I have to use my fucking iPhone 5 which was the most stupid buy I did, sorry if I have mistakes, I'm German. The Question actually is, if it will be worth waiting, because of the question whether it will have huge changes(better cores etc)
***** Mal gucken, trotzdem danke :)
No widgets on your homescreen? How come?
Ahh I see. Great video by the way!!
COMIC SANS!
Yoo Doubletime Speaking Review :D
you speak so fast, why ???
Is it just me or does the rear camera seem yellowish when pointed at blue objects?
+blasphemous24 that's auto white balance.
+waymuu but when pointed at the same blue object, this time using Camera FV-5, it doesn't turn yellowish... at least setting it on the last option in the white balance mode
well is the setting in Camera FV-5 an auto-white balance setting? i don't have that app so i wouldn't know.
+waymuu So, there are 6 options in the white balance mode which are Auto, Cloudy, Sunny, Florescent light, Warm florescent light, and Incandescent light. The last one is what I selected.
ok well that isn't auto-white balance, so it wouldn't change over focusing on one specific color. also, incandescent white balance will give you a cool tone over the image so it wouldn't turn yellow-ish anyway.
The camera is still the best overall when hdr+ is on. Pretty insane considering how bad old nexus cameras were
***** really? I prefer it low light. Guess I'll check the S7 out. In daylight I've seen the S7. It's outstanding
soleil3gs it's called an opinion jackass
soleil3gs Im not upset, "nah man dont get excited"?
watching this on my Nexus 6p and your skin doesn't look burnt at all... and same with the fingerprint reader, mind seems to be faster than yours.
Its an 8MP front camera not 5MP
Was rocking a s6 edge plus, but after like 4+ months I still didn't have android M on AT&T (like last week). So I swapped for a 6p because it just bugs the very essence of my being that a phone THAT good like the galaxy line (starting wih s6 up) has such garbage update times.
that's Samsung for you and then you have AT&T slowing it down more so they can add there bloat ware
That's why I left Samsung great phones horrible update
+osoifamf it's why I like iphones as well as androids. the consistent updates. same with a few select androids- I think HTC does a good job.
+Durararide!! Moto and Htc It just bugs me , u pay so much for a phone and it takes 5 to 6 months to get an update
+osoifamf yes agreed. that's why I like the concept of Android n creating a 'front end' and 'back end' to Android to eliminate this problem, but we don't know enough to say if that's true or not.
see my problem is that the Nexus 6P is just too big. I want a nice sub 5.3 inch display.
***** I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a nice sub-5.5 inch display Nexus this year. Maybe Moto will too?
do a bend test Damir lol
nexus 6 is king.
I'm gonna be the odd one and say Z5P is still best for me. I've used a S7 edge for a while now and i'm thinking of going back lol.
Why?
MrWalker1000 Haha. Good one.
HTC 10 is pretty close to stock i think.
Do you guys still think this phone is worth buying today?
Dont mind the size, don't know anything about the nexus brands in general. Any other reason that it's worth buying today??
the front camera is 8mp.
+Damir Franc alright. have a good day
I love that Nexus 6P but it is too big for me. :-( And the 5X is ugly that's why I chose the Galaxy S7. :-/
Man hört direkt, dass du deutsch bist ^^
***** Ja, hauptsache das Review ist gelungen ^^
The lg v10 is king
no
+Fredy Malpartida not at all
+Moody Ali You wish
+KROreviews right after that the cake explodes
